A real Paradise
Pros:

If you have seen White Lotus, this is how it would feel in Season 4, but without the tragedies. It is so beautiful, both the setting, the resort and esp the people. A cove all to ourselves, it feels so private without the high cost.

Cons:

Nothing

Séjour inoubliable
Pros:

Personnel exceptionnel aux petits soins.
Organisation sans faille de l'arrivée jusqu'au départ Clim silencieuse (assez rare aux Philippines)
Repas excellents
Prêt de matériel appreciable.
Coraux presque au pied de la chambre
Hébergement au calme
Accueil et depart en chanson.

Cons:

Hotel dans un site exceptionnel mais de part la présence de la mangrove l'eau n'est pas parfaitement claire partout. En s'éloignant um peu c'est très correct.

Absolutely spectacular location, relaxing feel, and wonderful staff made this a great stay at the end of a long trip.
Pros:

The exclusive nature and location. The staff were amazing, friendly and accommodating. You pay for all your purchases at the end of your stay which made it feel more all-inclusive than it was.

Cons:

Walking to our property at night, the tide was in and washed away our path. Thankfully it was clean water but for my mother in law it was a little scary.

Amazing snorkling, so many fish!
Pros:

Love this resort! The Welcome song still rings in my ears. The portion sizes at the resturant are very generous, but the best part was the snorkling just off the pier absolutely amazing.

Cons:

Not much

This place and people working here will catch your heart.
Pros:

Everything was perfect. The property is very nicely designed. The stuff and all provided services were exceptional, including every small detail which made us feel very special, and warmly treated. Food and drinks were delicious.

Cons:

There was simply nothing I would consider as I did not like. Perhaps more fresh catch fish on the menu would be nice to have.

A truly special place with high standards
Pros:

We had an exceptional stay and genuinely loved every part of the experience.

The location is fantastic - peaceful, scenic, and perfectly positioned by the water. Waking up to a room directly in front of the sea was unforgettable. The beach is beautiful, the pool area is well maintained and inviting, and the entire property feels thoughtfully designed. The diving was a true highlight of our stay. The nearby shipwreck was spectacular, the house reef was vibrant and full of life, and the dive masters were professional, friendly, and made every dive feel safe and enjoyable.

The staff truly made the difference. From the warm welcome upon arrival, with a clear and helpful explanation of everything we needed to know, to the personal touches throughout our stay, the attention to detail was impressive. The team even knew we were heading out for diving the next day and proactively offered to prepare a packed lunch for us. That level of care does not go unnoticed.

The food was excellent, with a good and varied menu that kept every meal interesting and enjoyable.

Overall, a seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely warm experience. We would absolutely return.

Cons:

While we truly appreciated the warmth and effort, the welcome and departure ceremonies with guitars and singing felt a bit overwhelming for our taste. It was more attention than we personally felt comfortable with. Similarly, the two guitarists during dinner are clearly talented and create a lovely atmosphere, but having them move from table to table to sing directly to guests felt unnecessary and slightly awkward. A more relaxed, background-style performance would have been more enjoyable for us.
